There have never been more exciting ways to quench your thirst than there are now. Water may be the best way to keep yourself hydrated, but a bevy of new, healthy beverages insist on making the process a whole lot more fun. In the mood for something sweet-ish? Instead of sugary drinks like soda, consider flavored seltzer waters that are tasty and refreshing without any sugar at all. If you like to caffeinate, there are excellent coffee and tea choices out there for whatever you prefer. And, of course, plenty of unique juices no matter what you're mood, whether they're made from cold-pressed watermelon or spicy, blended veggies.

Best Bottled Green Tea: Pure Leaf Unsweetened Brewed Green Tea

This green tea is totally refreshing and it will give you the kick you need, without being too strong. “It has a nice, mild, green tea flavor,” wrote one taste tester, “so it’s not too strong, but still makes you want to sit back and drink it outside.”

Best Bottled Tea: Teavana Unsweetened Meyer Lemon Black Tea

For one editor, this tea has started to make a regular appearance in their midday routine since the original taste test. “I drink this tea almost daily now instead of a second cup of coffee,” they wrote. “There’s none of the bitterness you can sometimes get with black tea...and it’s a great midday boost.” Plus, a bit of lemon adds a refreshing, citrusy flavor that also makes it a great thirst quencher.

Best Decaf Bottled Tea: SOUND Sparkling Rose Tea

Even if you don’t usually like floral drinks, you’ll love this one. The rose flavor isn’t overwhelming—instead, it gives it a super subtle freshness that is a great alternative when you’re sick of the typical lemon or mint iced teas, according to taste testers.

Best Loose Leaf Tea: Community Porch Breeze Signature Iced Tea

“This tea is crisp, refreshing, and easy to make in large batches,” wrote one person, “a summertime crowd pleaser.” It also makes a great base for big-batch punches or cocktails, and our editors experimented with it by adding fresh fruit, citrus slices, and mint leaves.

Best Coconut Water: Vita Coco Sparkling Lemon Ginger Coconut Water

Coconut water is great, but sparkling coconut water is way more exciting. “This effervescent coconut water has just the right amount of sweetness,” one editor noted. “It’s like taking your sparkling water up a notch."

Even though this seltzer has a strong, grapefruit flavor, our editors found that it didn’t taste artificial at all. They noted that sometimes flavored water can be way too subtle, but that’s definitely not the case with this one. Plus, it’s super bubbly, and they liked that it didn’t fall flat immediately after opening like some seltzers do.

Best Sweetened Iced Coffee: High Brew Cold Brew Coffee in Black and Bold

Our editors called this cold brew “smooth and simple” and it’s just a touch sweet with only 1 gram of added sugar. Sold in cans, it’s perfect for when you need to grab a quick caffeine boost on your way out the door.

Unlike a lot of black coffees, which can be harsh and bitter, this one is “beyond smooth,” according to one editor. “I rarely drink my coffee black,” they wrote, “but this iced coffee has made me a convert.” Sold in cartons, this cold brew is great to keep in your fridge for lazy mornings when you don’t necessarily want a full serving of coffee.

This juice is simple and great. Our editors found it “nice and refreshing,” and “not too thin,” as many juices are. Plus, they noted that while a lot of other juice separated over time, this one held together very well.

Best Kombucha: Suja Mixed Berries Kombucha

Slightly fizzy and subtly flavored, this kombucha will hit the spot. One editor wrote that it’s “not too sweet and not too tangy, but a little bit of each.” If you feel like amping it up a bit, know that its subtle flavor makes it an excellent companion for bubbly cocktails.

When they say this is spicy, they’re not kidding. “Genuinely spicy, which was surprising,” wrote on person,” while another excitedly exclaimed, “SPICY!” Drink it as is or use it as a healthyish base for your next bloody Mary.
